1. Views higher up were hazy. Hard to tell but for a while the drop was a sheer 200 feet down.
2. Do the layers represent an ancient ocean? See later post.

Grinnell Glacier

The glacier was "discovered" just 120 years ago. 1. is one frame of a panny. 2 is a glacierberg.

What the hell makes rock look like this? By good fortune i found out. They are traces of 1,000,000,000 year old stromatolites*. Current altitude approx 6500 feet.

Rocks

The huge variety of rocks left behind by the trillion pound bulldozer is amazing. Many were beautiful.
Way out
2017年8月29日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
On the way out more of the haze had lifted so i got a better picture of the lake. The great color is from rock ground extremely fine by the glacier.
On this trail there is water cascading onto theもっと詳しく
Cattle Baron Dinner Club

Who suggested going here?! Do you see the menu? Who would have expected 4 star prices here? At the time i went the A/C wasn't working and the all teen wait staff couldn't keep up with the medium-sizedもっと詳しく
Eulogy to Lexie

I'm really going to miss that dog. She had so much personality. There was nothing not to like about her. I sure wish i could have brought her to the vet. I would have brought her a huge hunk of cheeseもっと詳しく
On the way

This was a gas stop that reminded me to record how there are "casinos" in practically every gas station and restaurant.
Billings MT

The road into billings is up high and runs for several miles along the edge of a cliff (escarpment?) The airport is on this high part. The people that built houses here have a view of the entire cityもっと詳しく
Mist
2017年8月30日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Can you see the mist? It had been 92ish on the highway. In the high plains it seems to me that it doesn't start to cool down until the sun is really low, like 6ish. Around 6 today the sun went behindもっと詳しく
Little Bighorn
2017年8月30日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Here's where a small number of soldiers killed many native persons. Or was Little Bighorn where Custer's hubris got his troop wiped out? Anyway, its all cows and trailers now.
Little walk

This was a little walk i did a couple days ago high up on Going to the Sun.

This was from an earlier hike - Ptarmigan, i think - where i stopped to rest on the way down. Hikes outside of Yellowstone are a lot more difficult. I'm guessing because temps are 20 degrees higherもっと詳しく
Devil's Tower
2017年8月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
A really wondrous, immense natural formation. You can see why humans of all kinds are attracted to it.
Mt Rushmore

One thing I've noticed about travelling is that when you get there you know what you're going to see. Four dudes in rock, check. With the gargantuan revolution that is the Internet you can seeもっと詳しく
Campground

I'm not getting soft. Rapid City has an ordinance preventing people from staying overnight in places like Walmart. Boy this KOA is great. Its right on the edge of the city on a main road, it hasもっと詳しく
Badlands National Park

What i said yesterday counts today. Pictures can't represent how wild this area is. Driving through these formations and colors was really something.
Badlands

One end of the main road has lots of valleys (the erosion is below you.) The other end you are in the formations (you are at the base of the eroded areas.) Here is the latter. Really awesome area.

Made it another 612 miles with no major catastrophies. I mention this because my mileage is like 9 mpg now. Wasn't it 12 on the way over...?
Quick patch up

The plastic bowed out enough to hit the tire. The hole would let in plenty of water. Hope the screws i put in right behind the tire don't back out.
